  • Once connected, the device will securely transmit detection data to the UAS Sentry Cloud platform.


Detection Operation

  • Once initialized, the Radar screen confirms active Remote ID scanning. Detected drones automatically populate flight data and pilot location (if broadcast).

    Use the next button to scroll through a variety of screens to get more information including QR codes that can be scanned to get drone & pilot location.

  • Real-time flight telemetry

  • Geofence alert activation

  • Cloud synchronization (if connected)


Antennas

  • Dedicated 2.4 GHz receiver (on right)

  • Dual 2.4 / 5.8 GHz receiver (on left)

Cloud & App Integration

  • The full suite of features on the UAS Sentry Cloud are available for two years.

  • After two years you may continue to use them for an annual fee of $295 (subject to change).

    If you decide not to renew after year #2 you will still be able to use the IOS app and also use the unit in local mode. Local mode will give you full access to all the features that are running on the device including getting the locations of the drone and the pilot.
